Ace********Valerie bit her lip, her eyes turning wet as she glared at Tiffany and clenched her teeth in anger.Tiffany sneered at her pathetic look, watching as Valerie stormed toward her, her eyes cold and burning with hate."You're not any different. At least I’m better than you, I don’t sleep with the Alpha’s son for power. Your p***y stinks," she spat, and the crowd gasped.Everyone turned to each other, murmuring, while Tiffany’s eyes darkened."You’re so pathetic. You don’t even care about flaunting your naked body to everyone. I wonder who else, apart from Logan, you’re trying to fuck," Valerie added, stepping even closer."I wonder what Logan would do if he found out you’ve slept with way too many guys," she whispered in Tiffany’s ear, making her frown.“Real mate material,” Asher, who had witnessed the whole thing, muttered to Gareth.Gareth’s eyes dimmed slightly, showing hurt and anger.“Poor guy,” Tane-Asher’s wolf-commented inwardly.Gareth sighed and turned his gaze to
Bang!Her body dropped—motionless—to the floor.*******Tiffany sat on the cold bathroom floor, the whip that had been thrown at her still nearby. Her back burned, like a thousand sunburns scorching her fair skin.She staggered to her feet, with Valerie and Rose holding her up. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, but she refused to let them fall.She couldn’t believe it. She had endured pain, taken twenty lashes, been slapped by her father, and Logan hadn’t even bothered to visit her.She grit her teeth and stared at the ground. Was her chance at becoming Luna gone? Did she really have to start all over again? win Logan’s attention, his parents’ approval?Everything hurt.And yet, she still pinned the blame on Snow.If only that stupid Omega hadn’t made her feel jealous, none of this would have happened. She’d still be radiant. Untouched.Now, the gala was only days away. Her plans… her stunning show-me-your-back” dress… ruined.She would have to wear something that covered the scar
His hand gently patted her hair, tenderly.*******She flashed him a smile, and the gate opened right after.“Luna Lyra is expecting you, hurry,” a female said as they both rushed into the house.“What’s wrong?” the female asked again as Lyra walked toward her. "The flowers?” she asked, and she handed to her.“Everyone leave,” Lyra said, her tone unsteady and filled with something ominous—a bad feeling.The door closed behind everyone as they filed out, including the Alpha rogue, who had fear written all over his face.“What happened?” Zach, the warrior leader, asked. A female stepped forward.“The princess… she just started convulsing. It was wild—everyone panicked,” she said, then glanced nervously toward the closed door.“I heard Luna Lyra is good at healing. Is that true?” she asked, but Zach’s eyes dimmed.It was a secret only their pack knew, Lyra had the healing touch. It was something kept hidden from other packs. She was extraordinary, but her daughter? She was beyond that—so
"I found it! The flower is here!" ************ The female plucked the flower and packed it into her pouch, her gaze fixed on it. It was unlike any she'd seen before—its purple hue sparkled, and the veins on its leaves were mesmerizing. "Let's go," the warrior leader said. She placed her hand in his, and he pulled her up gently. He had jumped into the hole after her, his gaze sweeping around the cave, searching for a way out. His eyes darkened. His wolf had taken control, and he sighted a light—it was coming from outside the cave. "We should leave," he muttered. The female nodded and followed him, stepping cautiously through the rocky terrain. She stepped on a stone and almost slipped, but in that instant, his hand gripped her shirt, steadying her. She thanked him, and they continued. Though it was still afternoon, the sky was already darkening. They had to hurry. There was a small hole—just large enough to fit her, but not him. "You're not going to fit. We have to go togethe
“I trust her,” her human form—Akira—whispered back.************The Alpha rogue's eyes widened with hope. Her eyes shimmered—something he hadn’t seen in a long time.“You made her eyes glow,” he said, and Lyra turned to him, confused by his words. She hadn’t noticed the change in the wolf’s gaze.“She looks normal to me,” Lyra replied, but the Alpha rogue smiled faintly. He turned to approach his daughter.But her eyes darkened instantly. Her feral nature returned in a flash and she nearly lost control. She swiped her claw in the air, ready to strike the Alpha rogue’s chest—but Lyra was faster.She grabbed the wolf’s limb and frowned.“Stay away from her until the Wolfsbane Bloom arrives,” she ordered firmly.“She’s my daughter,” the Alpha rogue growled.“Come any closer, and she’s dead,” Lyra warned, her voice sharp. “She can’t move. She’ll bleed out too much.”His expression softened, and he slowly stepped back.“Please… save her,” he finally said, his voice thick with sorrow and e
“Yes, but first—I need that leaf.”******The Alpha rogue hesitated for a second. His daughter's life was on the line. Since the Luna was confident in her healing remedy, maybe he could trust her. He needed his daughter alive and well.Only then could she take over the pack when he was gone. He wanted her to find her mate, have children, and live a full, happy life. That was all he ever wished for. He wanted to see her smile and cry in his arms like she used to. He wanted to make her happy again.“Okay. I trust you. Let nothing happen to her… or you will bear the consequences,” he said at last. His voice was calm, but there was a dangerous edge to it—a warning not to fail.Lyra turned to her lead warrior. “I need you to find the Wolfsbane Bloom flower. It’s different from regular wolfsbane. It’s also purple, but its features are entirely unique. Be careful and gentle when picking the leaves.” She paused and looked at the Alpha rogue. “Do you have anyone skilled in herbs, flowers, and
